Beauty is obviously a huge part of my life. I’ve always been interested in the entire cosmetic industry but finding my place was hard. When you love a lot of things you really want to know more- & yes I did! Hair, makeup, nails…everything is just too fun. A lot of beauty bloggers focus on one main aspect but that didn’t feel right to me…that’s why I went with Stephanie Louise- All Things Beautiful Blog as my name!

For me beauty is more than a job- it is one of my favorite topics. Discovering myself through makeup was incredibly important. From the frosty baby blue eyeshadow in 6th grade to the extremely heavy liner in high school…makeup has always been MY thing. This is when I think about my day, show my creative side, & really take some me time. I need me time to survive honestly.
